My middle girl Elle turned 13 last Wednesday and we didn't really have big plans for her big day. It was a normal school day and a normal work day. But I like it to make birthdays special days for my girls. You are young once and that's the time you still enjoy your birthday (that's my opinion).
So I organized a surprise high tea for her after school. I had a busy day baking in the kitchen, what I really enjoyed. Nice music on , maybe a bit louder than normal and a great smell of nice fresh muffins, cakes and scones. I invited some friends of her and their mums and some neighbours. And Andre took some hours of work so he could join us as well. When she came home we had a big table full of nice food and it was a really big surprise, when she saw all her friend and other visitors she was absolutly stunned.
We all had great fun and nobody was in a hurry to go home. It was a fantastic afternoon.
We gave her a sewing machine for her birthday so she can be a crafty girl like her mum. She is always busy with crafty things and I always promoted it because I like it. I made a nice cover for her sewing machine in purple her favorite colour and gave her a big box with all sewing materials and nice gadgets.

GEFELICITEERD met je jarige dochter. Ook mijn 2e is 13, maar niet zo lang meer. Wat een mooi kado hebben jullie haar gegeven. Mijn oude machientje staat klaar voor onze meiden, maar meestal is dat alleen in vakantietijd, dat ze er iets mee doen.
Van harte gefeliciteerd met je dochter's verjaardag! Dat is een mooi cadeau, een naaimachine! En wat leuk dat je jouw creativiteit met je dochter kan delen! Zo te zien was de high tea erg lekker!
what a wonderful birthday gift.
Happy belated belated birthday, Elle! :)
